Dysphoria, I don't think, conclusively indicates bipolar. I've experienced 'dysphoria' though mine is less agitated than some. For me, terrible, horrible, intrusive thoughts--like someone shouting in my head accompanied by high anxiety and restlessness. So, yes, it is a stimulated mood, mixed, in my case with fatigue (I mean who wouldn't be worn out by that?).
Provigil, strattera, and abilify have induced it for me.
I like low dose lithium. I'm not bipolar and take it daily.
Good luck--you've companions here.
